KeePass can't protect you from a stealer. So I built something that can.
A developer has created a hardware password manager called Protokey to address security concerns with traditional software password managers like KeePass. The device stores passwords offline and types them directly into fields, minimizing exposure to malware. Protokey aims to provide a more secure alternative by ensuring that sensitive data never leaves the device.
- ▪Protokey is designed to store passwords completely offline and operates as a USB device that types passwords like a keyboard.
- ▪Traditional password managers are vulnerable to malware and keyloggers, which can compromise sensitive data.
- ▪The device features a 3.5" touchscreen for browsing and selecting accounts, and it encrypts all user data.

The problem nobody talks about I was using KeePassXC.
